Honda has pushed the NSX back by developing the 2&4 open wheel concept to rival the Ariel Atom and Caterham Seven
Honda has announced that they can make a new hardcore road racer, it will not be a common road racer, and it will be one that could rival the Ariel Atom and Caterham Seven. Honda called the new concept 2&4 open wheel concept.
It will make its first public appearance at the centre stage of Honda at Frankfurt Motor Show. It will represent the company’s continuous efforts to create a more exciting user experience.
There are very little details on the concept car available at the moment and a very heavily darkened teaser image is available, captured from above. However, by lightening the shot, it is clear that the new concept is not an ordinary road car.
In the teaser image, there are exposed wheels to make it a single seat road car. The concept car has been designed with an inspiration from its motorcycle design centre in Asaka and full-time support of the automobile design centre in Wako, Japan.
The cabin less body of the new concept is set to provide an immersive driving environment with the motorcycle like driving freedom and the manoeuvrability of a supercar.
As discussed earlier, power and torque figures have not been released, but these figures are expected to be released soon by the time the car will be introduced at Frankfurt motor show. But according to the history of Honda engines and their revving powers, it is expected that the car will get a very powerful engine, as little as the engines used to drive at Nurburgring to make lap records. But most probably there will be some pretty impressive figures about to arrive.
The 2&4 open wheel concept will be available just after weeks when the deliveries for Civic Type R will start. But a bad news about the NSX is that the rumours have started circulating about a delayed production of the model. It has been pushed back in spring 2016.
